I’d think a better way to get feedback is to ask “What do you think of this pledge wording?” rather than encourage people to take a lifelong pledge before it’s gotten much external feedback.
The idea of an Minimal Viable Product is you’re unsure what part of your product provides value and what parts are sticking points. After you release the MVP the sticking points are much clearer, and you have a much better idea on where to focus your limited time and money.
Asking people to try out a minimum viable product, which they can abandon if they don’t like it, seems fine. Asking people to take a minimum viable pledge about how they will orient their entire career seems very different to me.
